Need FJ62 front calipers - recommendations appreciated (1 Viewer)

[DUTCHDJ1]

Of course 8 months after they are discontinued I need them. Anyone know of an OEM source (doubtful) or a good aftermarket caliper for the FJ62. Or anyone have a left and right they are willing to part with?

Thanks in advance for any assistance.

When I redid my front brakes several years ago, Toyota FJ60 new calipers were no longer available. FJ60 & 62 calipers are almost the same.
So I went to my local Auto Zone auto parts store and purchased remanufactured Toyota calipers which were rebuilt by Cardone.

They looked brand new and performed perfectly. - and they were very inexpensive.

^^^ Now that Toyota has discontinued 47730/47750-60021, Kurt’s option is the way to go. No brainer.

If you get the remans, take the time to paint them.

I did not need loaded calipers (my pads were fine) so I got Rock Auto cheapie reman calipers and they have worked well. It's nice to not have it pull under hard braking.

I replaced all the rubber brake lines in my truck years ago - you might inspect yours closely and be sure they are sound and not rotted.

I got remanufacured front calipers from my local AutoZone parts store. They were genuine Toyota calipers rebuilt by Cardone. They looked brand new and worked perfectly. Also very inexpensive.

I did dealer remans. About 65$ a piece IIRC and next day pickup.

Is/was there a caliper rebuild kit available?

 

[OGBeno]

Yes.

After rebuilding my FJ40 calipers, I'll pass. What a stinkin' mess that was. It isn't hard, but it's like juggling 50 live squid with greasy hands. I'm sure if I did it again, I could be more efficient about it.

I just did my fronts on a fj62, got remans from Orileys. The parts I had were 3 years old from napa and one seized, the orileys parts appear to be zinc plated and I don't think the parts from napa were. To be fair I'm bad about doing a wash down after water crossings and it's only a weekend driver.
